Bianca Walkden wins gold at European Championships

Bianca Walkden has become the third British women in as many days to win taekwondo gold at the European Taekwondo Championships in Switzerland.

Following success for Welsh pair Jade Jones and Lauren Williams on Friday and Saturday, Walker took gold in the +73kg category by winning the event she had won in Baku two years earlier.

She added a second European title to her world title by defeating Turkey's Nafia Kus 5-4 and hopes to complete the set with another gold in Rio at this summer's Olympics.

Bianca Walkden is now a back-to-back European champion

"I feel really honoured to even be here and compete, so for me to do it the second time in a row is great," Walkden said in quotes published on Team GB's website.

"It's really nice to be reigning world and European champion and hopefully I can go to the Olympics and become Olympic champion now.

"The plan is to get gold in Rio and hopefully I can go out there and deliver that gold medal.

"My preparations are going well but I had a little cry before I came out for my final because I was panicking a little bit. It happens but I went out there and did the job and now I'm world and European champion."
